This tune has some resemblance to "Sound of the waves against the Castle of Duntroon". The version in the Campbell Canntaireachd is inconsistent with numerous insertions and deletions which suggest to the PS editors that it is not accurate in every detail. As with all tunes from the Campbell Canntaireachd timing and cadence placement is flexible.

This recording is played from the Campell Canntaireachd and shows differences from the Piobaireachd Society score.

Judges Note 2013

This tune has some similarity to 'The Sound of the Waves on the Castle of Duntroon' and is thought to be of the same origin.

Lines 2 and 3 of the singling and doubling of variation 1 are virtually identical, although timed differently in places. It is therefore important to decide how to play these to bring out the difference. It is possible that the canntaireachd has been misinterpreted in the PS score.

Recordings played straight from the canntaireachd by Patrick Molard, singling and doubling and Hugh MacCallum, singling and doubling are attached, together with the corresponding scores. These show note differences and differences in cadence placement from the PS score, and both players time the variation differently. Other timings are possible.

The timing of some couplets in variation 1 are shown with the first note dotted, but the second note not cut! While this may be an error, it is possible that it was Archie Kenneth's way of expressing how he thought it should be played.
